Pain Management Services
If you are in need of pain management services, we have Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) from NorthStar Anesthesia with us at the medical center. With a physician referral, patients in need of a epidural steroid injection may come in at any time.
Epidural steroids treat problems including:
- Discogenic pain (bulging or herniated discs) in the back and neck
- Failed back surgery syndrome
Epidural steroid injections reduce inflammation, swelling and irritation of the nerves by delivering steroids directly to the affected area. They are administered by a pain specialist, and have been safely and effectively used in the treatment of chronic neck and back pain for over 40 years.
